We went on a weekday lunch, and I ordered a tuna salad entree, which was good but not worth its price for the amount you get (Glorified Poke bowl, basically). The main issue I had was the attitude of the person at the front desk/waitress. It was clear that they were skeptical of my service dog and asked a few times about whether he was a service dog while giving us looks. Their tone and attitude was unwelcoming and it felt discriminatory and uncomfortable. The waitress had a poor attitude towards us and interrupted us multiple times while we clearly weren't ready. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice but won't be going there again. read more

Always a busy happening spot; mainly people eating after work and having a good time. The oven is a beautiful centerpiece of the restaurant. Don't let that out you off though if you don't like people in suits. The food here is delicious. Most plates are served tapas style meaning you get to try a bunch of things. The grilled shrimp are delicious, as are the flatbreads. You really can't go wrong. If you've ever wanted to order Bronzino, but been afraid of choking to death on a bone or just feel too intimidated to do it yourself staff will actually do it for you if you ask! They also have some unique wine selections, mainly from Greece, but also a really great one from Lebanon! read more

I went here for a friend send off and the place really did not disappoint. We had a large size party and the staff did a tremendous job of supporting our needs. The drinks are amazing although a bit pricey. I got the Greek Sunset and I could not taste the alcohol, which has its pros and cons. I was not complaining! We got essentially every food dish on the menu and my favorites were the lamb jobs and the flatbreads. read more

Limited lunch menu but dinner offers a good menu. Food and service is very good. Good atmosphere.

Trade has become one of my favorites! Overall, the ambience and service was excellent. In terms of dress code, business casual should suffice. There's street parking or underground garage near by. I'm a sucker for Mediterranean cuisine, and they didn't let me down. We began with the Crispy Rhode Island Calamari, which was some of the best calamari I'd ever had. It was lightly fried, not greasy, not overcooked, or chewy. That was greatly appreciated! Not to add the incredible aioli that comes with it. We ordered the Greek feast for the entrée, which was pricey but well worth it! The menu indicates that it serves four people, however it can also serve two. The meat was all cooked to perfection, the side salad was wonderful, and the feta was really fresh! The roasted vegetables are to die for. So tasty! Finally, for dessert, we got the affogato, just amazing. Chefs kiss! I will without a doubt be back! read more

Went here for Dine Out Boston, and it was an absolutely phenomenal experience! Service was great and attentive! Really classy ambiance! As for food, we got what felt like a true Greek feast! Zucchini cakes were soft, pillowy, and subtlety sweet. Pita was fresh and toasted to perfection, paired perfectly with the three dips! Chicken was moist and tender. The star was definitely the oxtail pastitsio! Pasta was soft, but the oxtail ragu was beyond tender and so flavorful! And despite the discount, they were extremely generous with the amount of meat! Finally, the baklava Napoleon was pleasant and not overly sweet. Great way to end the meal. Trade definitely did not disappoint in giving me and my friends a wonderful Dine Out experience! read more

Solid spot for an upscale business lunch in the financial district, especially when it is on someone else's dime. Menu recently downsized and changed a little bit - my usual, the salmon entree with pomegranate seeds, is now served on a bed of arugula with a squash purée. It was a bit underwhelming this time around. Mezzes and appetizers (brussel sprouts, eggplant, and mezze plate) were highlights. French fries with the sandwiches are nice too. Service was a little slow, but they were quick to fill water glasses. Trade is an airy, classy spot on the greenway, good for groups, and checks the boxes for a business lunch. read more

Trade - Salmon entree went through some changes, at over $30, this was a bit underwhelming. - Mediterranean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Stopped into this lovely establishment for some appetizers. Everything we ordered was done very well!! I hate beets and mushrooms, but was able to tolerate both of them here!! So I was very impressed! The burrata, on thinly sliced beets with grapes, olives, etc was really good! The lamb meatballs were yummy! The mushroom pizzette with figs and more was delish! And the yuzu mocktail, divine! I'd love to give this place 5 stars but our waiter was a little pushy! Wanted us to order a bottle of wine and more food when we specifically said we were just doing a few apps and were not interested in drinks. Overall I'd definitely go back for more! read more

I would probably rate between a 3 and a 4. Service was ok. Took order quickly but waited a little bit for food. Pizzas were a decent size but nothing spectacular taste wise. read more

We went here for a New Year's Eve dinner. The service was amazing and our server really knew the menu and had some great recommendations. They were very accommodating. We had the Meze platter for apps along with the fried feta phyllo and the glazed carrots all of which tasted amazing! I got the spanakopita pizza as my dinner and although it was small, it was good for an entree portion. I would def go back just for the fresh warm pita bread and the baked feta in phyllo. read more

I can not recommend this place enough. Been here quite a few times now and it has never disappointed - not once! The food is great - lots of options, the service has been wonderful each and every time (all the staff have been so kind and fun!) and the atmosphere is great! It's decorated very nicely and just has a great vibe no matter where you sit (I've now sat in the bar, main dining, and side room and loved them all). I even celebrated my birthday here with a friend and made a quick reservation note on open table along the lines of "table with a good vibe" etc and they were SO accommodating and recommended we grab a drink at the bar beforehand so that they could have a better table for us and gave menu suggestions (this also happened to be my first time trying this restaurant). Just love this place so much and there's something for everyone here. I recommend the espresso martini!! read more

Flavors - 3/5 Textures - 3.5/5 Presentation - 5/5 Value for Money - 2/5 Would return? No Must-try: Pita & Meze This place is very good for drinks, maybe a date for the ambiance, but I'm not sure if I would recommend for food. I wanted to come here because the food looked so beautiful in their Instagram and other people's pictures and indeed the food is beautiful, but I was disappointed on flavors. It's also extremely expensive for what you get. The style is tapas or small plates. The best thing I ate was probably the pita and Meze. The bread it's a mix between Greek pita bread and a pizza bread and it comes out charred from the oven. The dips were all very nice, particularly the spicy whipped feta. My least favorite was the roasted cauliflower, mainly because it was pretty much raw, not roasted enough. The flavors were interesting and weird, but it needed more toppings and sauce to make it a compelling dish. The rest of the dishes I tried - fried calamari, meatballs, flatbread, baked feta - we're good but forgettable. read more

After a 4-hour whale watching tour Fat Man Reviews needed a snack. So we walked down from the Boston Harbor and stopped into Trade for a drink and a fill up. Trade offers innovative Mediterranean plates & cocktails served in lively, modern, high-ceilinged setting. I decided to have an early afternoon cocktail and ordered a Waiting for the Sun. This was served with Hendrick's gin, apricot, honey, rose, and citrus. The gin and honey come through first in a sweet and floral flavor. The apricot is followed by the citrus, which I thought was lemon. This drink was pretty refreshing and had a good amount of alcohol in it. We ordered the Anatolian Flatbread. This was topped with spinach, leek, kasseri cheese and dill. The flatbread was quite soggy in the middle. The spinach and leak stood out and offered a nice sweet and onion type flavor. The cheese is flavorful, almost like a mozzarella but more buttery, and it was melted well. The dill adds a nice pop in both taste and fragrance. However, the dish was pretty oily and left a weird texture in my mouth. Trade has lunch and dinner menu offering breads, salads, sandwiches, starters and main dishes. They have a full bar and offer a large wine list. The server was nice enough, but the vibe from the staff was not as inviting as we had hoped. The Fat Man says that Trade is NOT Fat Man Approved. read more

I really don't understand why this place doesn't have better reviews! My husband and I went on a Saturday night and thought the Mediterranean food was awesome and it has a really nice aesthetic. The spring salad (pea shoots, dates, radishes) was light and flavorful, and we both loved the eggplant and baked feta dishes (honey, pistachio, roasted grapes and olives). My husband liked the citrusy ceviche, but for me the Anotolean stole the show. It's like a spanikopita flatbread with delicious dough & flavors (dill spinach cheese lemon). Five dishes was too much for us, but I would definitely get this again. To finish the evening, my husband devoured the espresso chocolate torte. I'm also a vegetarian with a ton of allergies and they were very accommodating! read more

What a bizarre experience. Had a 8:45pm reservation. Nice atmosphere but they cut the music off an hour before the restaurant closed, so we ate in silence. 3 plates came out before our cocktails. Servers were rushing to get home. Our main entree of choice apparently has been back ordered due to distributor problems for weeks. When we didn't order another main instead, our server added 3 bottles of sparkling water on the bill that we didn't order to try to make up the difference on the tab. Our server also disappeared for our entire dinner. Food was good but what a comically bad experience. read more

One of the best dining experiences ever! Incredible staff, incredible food, incredible vibes. Amazing night. Thank you!

Would rate this place a 2.5/5. Overall, had higher expectations which fell short. The service was good, but the food I thought was pretty subpar. The oxtail pastitsio was a little salty for my taste and I was not that impressed. It came out a little cold so the sauce was very thick. Lamb chops were decent but nothing to rave about. The one dish that I thought was exceptional was the meze and pita which was an appetizer with three different sauces to dip your pita into. read more

Trade is a chic Greek restaurant in the heart of Boston, very close to South Station. This place has a classy vibe to it. The staff is friendly and our server was polite, patient, and explained the menu well. He also proactively suggested specials. We asked to be seated at a different table and the staff made the change without any fuss which is not the case at many restaurants. The baked feta was delicious and one of the best baked fetas I've ever had! Charred eggplant and pita & maze were good too. I'll especially mention the tzatziki sauce, which was absolutely mouth watering! We ate this as part of the pita & meze but ask for this sauce on the side even if you don't order the meze. Loved trying the mastiha drink - don't go by the clear look of the spirit, it's not for the faint hearted! I ordered the flight which comprised mastiha and 2 brandies. Brandy was average and would recommend skipping the flight and going for mastiha straight. Overall, it's a bougie restaurant that offers a lot both for the palette and for the 'Gram. I give 4 stars because the bathroom wasn't as clean as you'd expect from a high end establishment. read more

The décor and atmosphere of this restaurant is excellent. The service we very friendly and professional. This was our first time here and the waitress was kind enough to guide us on how many dishes we should order for our party of 4. The food was generally very good. We did not have a long wait for any of the dishes, although they came out staggered so we lost track of time as we ate each dish. We did not try any of the main courses, but tried almost all the sharable plates. The mezze platter was our favorite followed by the feta in phyllo dough. The flatbread pizza with mushrooms was good, but not amazing. The brussel sprouts had entirely too much balsamic which turned off several of our party. The wine list was extensive, and the Greek wine we had was exceptional. I had to take one star off for the price. I know this is Boston, and a prime location. I also know that the restaurant was completely full, so they are not having trouble filling the place. But the prices were higher that other exceptional restaurants in Boston. read more

I don't ever leave a review, however I went to Trade with my family tonight, and it was one of the worst high end meals I have ever had. Our server came off as extremely rude and awkward. We asked if the Greek feast was good for three people, and he was unsure so he said maybe. We told him to take our card for the check when dinner finished and he awkwardly smiled and stood there. We ordered two rounds of drinks and each time it came out 25 min later. The food was mediocre at best, with the pita bread being the best thing on the menu. Deserts were an absolute miss and there was about 3x more foam than coffee in our latte. When spending 400$ on dinner for three people, you expect better service and much better food. read more

Greek and Mediterranean inspired menu in this Beauty of a restaurant located in the financial district of downtown Boston, Chef Jody Adams and crew deliver a delicious meal with excellent service to match. The village salad was colorful and fresh with some of the tastiest feta I've ever had. Followed that with crispy calamari cooked perfect,grilled octopus with fava santorini and fried capers. Lamb meatballs,just wow! Pillowy pita and meze which was a great vegetarian option for one of our guests. Entrees included oxtail pastitsio which was more of a deconstructed version of the traditional and did not disappoint. Lamb chops were tasty but a touch overcooked for my liking, and lemon brined spatchcock chicken was full of flavor but a little dry unfortunately. Dessert options are just a few items but don't sleep on them they're tasty choices to end your evening. Gotta say it's one of the prettier dining rooms in the downtown area with its high ceilings and Greek decor which make for a inviting atmosphere read more

Trade - I ordered the Lemon Brined Spatchcock Chicken and it was absolutely delicious and beautifully served. Village Salad in the back. - Mediterranean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Trade checks the box for fun atmosphere, great food, and fun drinks. It's a little pricy and the music plays too loud, but I really found myself surprised by the quality of food. The lamb chops are spectacular and the Branzino is very good. One thing we noticed is that the menu highlights interesting ingredients that don't really come across too much.. like the pomegranate eggplant didn't have any pomegranate notes or the chocolate orange torte didn't have any noticeable orange or rosemary notes, but the food was still very good. After drinks, apps, entrees, and dessert, we ended around 200 before tip. read more
